Hon Ning Cheung is a composer and chromatic harmonicist from Hong Kong. She is currently doing composition bachelor at Conservatorium Maastricht (NL) under the guidance of Prof. Vykintas Baltakas. Since 2019 she learned chromatic harmonica guided by Shing Hei Leung, later she was motivated to explore its timbral possibilities outside the standard harmonica repertoires. In her music, she searches persistently for uncertainty and fragmented narrative, inspired by nature, poetry and memory. Founder & composer of Nefelibata New Music Collective since 2021, a group of musicians at Conservatorium Maastricht devoting to creating concert projects inspired by humans, nature, and life. She has been curating annual concert episodes with the collective musicians in hopes of expanding contemporary harmonica repertories in chamber music and collaborating actively with living composers abroad. Hon Ning has premiered harmonica works by Oswald Huỳnh, Kyohei Sugihara, Riccardo Perugini, Mario Pallas, Andy Janssen, and Tai Nakamura. In 2023, together with Nefelibata Sinfonietta and conductor Txemi Etxebarria, she brought the Dutch premiere of the violin concerto by Einojuhani Rautavaara with chromatic harmonica.
